Valerie’s Bio

I've been a nanny for 10 years now & have a degree in education. I've nannied everywhere from Baltimore, New Orleans, Australia, France, and most recently in Nashville. I'm looking to move down to the Keys so I'm visiting for a few weeks hoping to meet some perspective nanny families! I've kept great relationships with all the families I've nannied for in the past and their references are available upon request. I specialize in early childhood development, specifically ages 3mo-5yrs. I have a true passion for kids and enjoy keeping their minds & bodies active; with reading books, imaginative play, art, and outdoor fun! In addition to play, I focus to make sure the kids are always respectful, well-mannered, and well-behaved.

In addition, I will be available most evenings and weekends over the summer so let me know if you're interested :)
